“Enoughness” is made up of conversations from "Mug Stories", an interview project produced in collaboration with the residents of Braziers Park, an intentional community in South Oxfordshire, UK.  The interviews touch on a number of themes around sharing, object agency, and affect. Starting a conversation about mugs, it turns out, can be a very effective way to talk about our interdependence and the ways in which it is mediated by objects in many settings. In the context of the community it starts to reveal many intimate details of our perception and sense-making in shared spaces. The stories show how everyday objects offer a locus of communal activity, and a metaphor for the many other forms of intimacy and instability that are present in the shift from normal to communal life.
